50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Waltham

“Really nice flavor on the carnitas and cabeza, solid lengua, and terrible carne asada tacos. Would say these tacos are smaller than used to (probably could get at this size and price in Manhattan which is saying something) so would just keep that in mind when ordering“

“Delicious food and excellent service!!“

“Food was amazing came with so much even for the pricing I thought it was appropriate. Left full and did not leave any and customer service was so good kind and took care of us very well my water was always full I’m surprised this place isn’t packed 100% recommend“

“Although the food and service were outstanding, the restaurant was very cold. The air conditioning was blasting making it uncomfortable. The noise level was so loud it was almost impossible to talk. Most of the restaurant walls are wood, but some of the walls such as the one we were next to were painted and were peeling and in dire need of a paint job. The sangria of the day was delicious, but was 75% ice so not worth the $15 for a couple of sips.“

“Excellent nachos, came back just for them!“

“My 8 and 10 year old and I LOVED eating in the restaurant and our whole family loves it as take out and delivery. In particular, my kids loved the ramen saying it's the best they've tasted. We all loved the sushi (SO fresh) and I particularly loved giving the Sushi Chef (who I hear is a master who would love to practice his craft creatively off menu when given the chance :) my loves, preferences and any dietary constraints and he just surprised us w/delicious stuff of his own creation. It's become our favorite!“

“I give it 4 stars clean and friendly staff.“

“Great food, great service. Friendly employees and friendly patrons! Piggy pancakes were a hit!“

“Great food, great service. Classic 1948 stainless steel diner. Convenient onsite parking.“

“Me and my girl have been getting this place almost once a week for the past 6 months. We always get garlic naan, butter chicken or chicken Tikka masala (yeah we white as hell.)

This is hands down the best northern Indian cuisine in Waltham, maybe the entire Northeast. We've had a ton of other restaurants but here everything is straight flavor, fresh, tender & perfectly cooked.

Other than the insane food, the staff have all been friendly & attentive. The atmosphere is also clean and nice enough to bring a significant other for a fancy night.“

“Yesterday was the first time we tried the pizza at Pizzeria Enzina...Wow... and we are so glad we did. My husband and son ordered a calmelized onion and red pepper version and I tried the vegan veggie pizza. We were thrilled at how delicious each slice was and we loved everything, from the taste of the dough to the generous amount of toppings and how incredible the vegan cheese on mine tasted so amazing...yes my husband and son both swiped slices of mine... it was that good. So happy we found you Enzina....my new favorite ....can't wait to try other dishes and the canoli too!!! We are so grateful for such a wonderful meal!!“

“This place is wonderful!!! Great food, and decor. Even the Ladies bathroom is chill. Shout out to Sam our server who was so cool! Definitely coming back :)“

“Went in for my birthday dinner. Service was great and the food was fantastic. Will definitely be back again.“

“So, we had planned on, reservations for eating outside but a rain storm moved in. They were able to accommodate us (party of 3) at the bar. The bar staff were amazing. The food was excellent and the beer was cold and excellent. We'll definitely go back.“

“You're my favorite restaurant,am always running back to you. I have introduced all my friends to that cowboy steak(extremely well done) my favorite. You always make me feel special on all my birthdays 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 Thank you 😊 🙏 😘“

“Food was really delicious and the service was so kind! The crab rangoons were so good and I get their eel maki everytime. The rice is never dry and the portions will fill you up! The owners are a lovely and sweet immigrant family and they’ll pay lots of attention to you. The restaurant is very clean and the atmosphere is perfect.“

“I started eating here for more vegan options and to eat healthy. The food is always fresh, it’s a hot bar but constantly replenished.
Even though the food is lightly seasoned (there are a lot of older customers) it is packed with flavor. The best part is seeing Masao doing his craft. He is genuinely happy and appreciative of all his customers, and his exuberance is quite contagious. Although he is a man of few words his actions and the kindness in his eyes speak volumes. If you order in a to go box, you place the box on a plate when it is weighed. I think the pricing is on par with other hot/ salad bars.“

“Love their dosa and chole bhature !!!!“

“Good food very nice service“

“God food taste and excellent beers“

“My family and I just returned from the Charles River Chapter of the Bay State Council of the Blind Holiday Party at John Brewers. It’s at least the 12th year we have been going there. Everyone is so friendly and attentive. The food is always good and they provide braille menus. We all had a great time.“

“Love so much about this place, the food is really good - the staff are so nice and friendly. They make you feel welcome. Love our Sunday brunches here.“

“I and my husband had a dinner yesterday and food was delicious, Angelo, our server was excellent, real pro. The restaurant by itself gave us a feeling of the real Italy. Thank you!“

“Everything here has been super tasty. I’ve been many times and brought different friends who has all loved it. Nice, casual, cafeteria-style service. Lots if actually-vegetarian options that are very well-seasoned“

“The pizza was great! The kids asked to come back the next time we’re in the area. They were impressed with the size of each slice! - Franchesca - Rochester, NY“

“I have been going to Grassfields for many years and have been very pleased. The past few times I have been there I ordered the broiled scallops and have been disappointed. The muscle on the scallops are not removed which are very tough to eat. Also I feel they are gritty. I am hoping that someone reads this and corrects the issue because Grassfields is a lovely place.“

“The staff was friendly. The food was delicious. The price was reasonable.“

“From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. We were greeted and seated right away, and our server Joe was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. His recommendations were spot on — from the cocktails and calamari to my husband's 26oz cowboy ribeye and my filet mignon with crab cake. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the sides were delicious. Dessert was a highlight, especially the bread pudding, which outshone even the excellent cheesecake. The extra touch of having our leftovers boxed table-side made the evening feel even more special. Highly recommend asking for Joe!“

“Always tasty food at a reasonable price 😊“

“Annie is the most awesome bartender.she is so personable and helpful it was a great experience in Waltham“

“When you walk into Mu Lan it is like you are transported to Taiwan. They have some "Americanized" dishes, however they are known for their authentic dishes. My Chinese friends that also own restaurants told me that Mu Lan is the real deal. I went at lunchtime. Most tables were occupied. I was one of the only non-Asian customers. To me, that's a sign of a great restaurant. As soon as I sat, they brought me over tea, water with lemon, a ramikin of peanuts and a ramikin of pickled cabbage and carrots. A very pleasant start to the meal. My waiter, an older gentleman with glasses was very friendly and was one of the English speaking employees. Part of their menu is written in Taiwanese. Those items had pictures. You can also easily use your cell and Google translate. I should note the restaurant was extremely clean and had nice Asian decor. They give you chopsticks. There is forks/spoons available if needed. I use chopsticks at home so this wasn't an issue. I started with a cup of Hot and Sour Soup. It's a favorite dish of mine and I was curious to see how they did it. Great flavors with the normal fillers like tofu, golden needle, black fungus, egg etc. Had a good amount of heat to clear your nose. My next course was half of the House Duck. Also delicious! Although reading the reviews it sounds like people lean towards the Smoked Duck. I finished with some Cuttlefish Dumplings! These were amazing! I believe the wrapper was black from squid ink. Overall, very happy with the food and the little extras they give you.

When they bring out the bill, they also bring Orange slices!!! Kind of like the pineapple back in the day! They have a large menu with a lot of interesting choices. From a cultural perspective it was really fascinating to watch some of the families eat. Each person would get a bowl of rice. Then the table would get two giant bowls
One looked like a soup. The family members would pick at the big bowls and place items on their rice. After a few bites they would repeat the process.

Definitely worth checking out for great fresh, authentic Taiwanese/Chinese food. Prices were very reasonable! Excited to go back and try something new!

Parking: I didn't have trouble finding street parking!

“Pho # 1 Woburn has some of the best Pho is MA. Highly recommend number 40, lots of different cuts of beef, and the broth is delicious. The medium is plenty of food, left satisfyingly full. The shrimp toast app is our favorite app as well. Salty and umami you can't stop eating it. For seafood lovers, number 46 is excellent with lots of different seafood in an excellent broth.“

“My boyfriend and I love it here! When the staff learned it was his birthday they went all out with taking care of us. The staff are so kind and want you to enjoy the experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Best Mexican, Salvadorean and Guatemalan food I've had so far within a hour radius. We got the fajita tejanas and the gordita (pollo) very flavorful, meats were soft and butter like, good cuts. Tortillas are homemade. I was the only white person here which is a sign that it's authentic or close to it. Will be dreaming of this. Seems like they have dancing at some point, and they have two bars. Great portions.

Parking: Plenty of free parking in a lot.“

“We love Indian food and trying new places . Tonight was our first time here and it was so good. Do not be deceived by the empty restaurant! Take out orders we’re flying out of there while we sat. Our food took a while to come out but it was easily the best Indian food we’ve ever had. Paneer Manchurian, paneer tikka masala, paneer butter masala. All incredible. And wow the naan!!! The places we frequent don’t touch the quality of This food. And the best part? When you ask for mild and it comes mild! Incredible. Highly recommend.“

“I love the take out! The food is good , the are whiling add stuff if you want something extra ( more $$ obviously) and I really love the food ,is clean , my favorite Chinese restaurant in Waltham, Ma!!!For take out only!!!

Vegetarian options: There’s some really good veggie dishes, is all about inquiring and asking for what you want! The food is really good!“

“I have been going to Paisano since they opened. Every time I've gone somewhere else, I'm always disappointed that I didn't go to Paisano. The owners Hector and Emilio are really nice people and are always there. I've never had a bad meal there, and I get take-out at least once a week. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Love to see a family business thriving!!!“
